Bushnell R5-1624S26 R5 Black 1-6x 24mm 30mm Tube Illuminated DD2-QA Reticle

The Bushnell R5 1-6x24mm rifle scope is a versatile low-to-mid magnification optic built for hunters and shooters who need speed at close range without sacrificing capability at distance. The 1-6x magnification range keeps both eyes comfortably open for quick target acquisition in brush and timber, while the 6x power extends your effective range for precision shooting when the situation demands it. Built on a 30mm tube and topped with an illuminated DD2-QA reticle, this scope bridges the gap between close-quarters hunting and open-country precision work.

The illuminated reticle is a practical choice for low-light hunting scenarios—dawn, dusk, and overcast conditions where a plain wire can disappear against dark backgrounds. The DD2-QA pattern gives you a defined aiming point across the magnification range, and the illumination dial lets you dial it down in bright light or bring it up when the sun gets low. The 30mm tube construction provides robust mounting options and internal adjustment range, while the black anodize finish is durable and non-reflective.

Whether you're glassing open terrain, cutting through timber, or splitting the difference on a mid-range hunting rifle, the R5's 1-6x range works harder than a fixed power and delivers more speed than a traditional 2.5-10x. It's a legitimate choice for versatile hunting applications where you can't predict the distance or light conditions you'll encounter.

Frequently Asked Questions

What kind of hunting is the 1-6x magnification range best suited for?

The 1-6x range works well for thick-cover hunting where targets may appear at arm's length, as well as open-country situations where you might need to reach out beyond typical brush distances. It's a compromise that many hunters prefer over fixed power or heavier variable scopes.

Is the illuminated reticle always on, and can I turn it off?

The scope features an illumination dial that allows you to adjust the brightness of the reticle. You can dial it down to an off position in bright daylight or increase it in low-light conditions.

What mounting system does the 30mm tube support?

The 30mm tube is the standard diameter and works with any quality 30mm scope rings or mounts. This gives you plenty of aftermarket options for mounting to your rifle.
